TOS Comparison Guide

This section compares TOS+ with other products.

Data Input

This sections explains how TOS+ differs from the point of view of Data Input: Other sheets requires you to use secondary sheets to enter information, level by level. In TOS+, you enter the core information directly, and do not have to go through all level, one by one.

Stacking Rules

TOS+ has a complete implementation of the Stacking Rules. Does the other sheet does it as well?

Dynamic Play at the Gaming Table

TOS+ has a special sheet called the LapTop sheet which is specifically designed to give a full-page view of the Character, which can be manipulated dynamically in-game to add effects. Does the other product do this?

Printouts

Hows does the printouts compare?

Customization

New content can be created in TOS+, allowing the creation of almost anything.

Customization: Power to the User

TOS+ is powerful because it allows users the full use of Excel - which means users can create complex formulas for just about anything. How does the other products stacks up in comparison?

Customization: Effects

TOS+ allows you to add effects in a simple manner: Effect Name, Effect type and Effect Modifier. This allows the user to easily define items with great powers. Compare how easy it is to create an abject giving you (for example) +2 STR, +2 Rank in Swim and a Spell Resistance of 12.

Integration

Integration means taking the rules, and computing the results relative to the PC's level. So for a 5th level character, instead of showing 1d6 per level, the sheet will actually show 5d6.

Integration: Conditional Skills/Armor Class/Saves/CMB & CMD

How are conditional stuff handled and how does it compare to TOS+?

Integration: Spell Planners

Spells description shows computed values and DCs... DOes the other products do this as well?
